Are all the gauges suppose to be at the same place at rest?

Normally yes, but they could be off a bit. If there off a lot, send them back
2118254
Yes, comparable gauge to other style boxes. I have the larger excel 26 box on top of it without issue.

I'm not an expert, but I believe they are supposed to be offset a bit as you're generally trying to crimp two wires/cables/etc together in one sleeve and they won't form a perfect circle.

No, sorry; however, if it came with a broken gauge I'm sure you can contact amazon and you can return it for a different one.

It's normal. It's designed to be a tight fit and that's sufficient. Don't risk losing that fit by rubbing out the threads.

They are not all the same gauge. I'd have to open up the loom to verify the gauge, but, if memory serves me right, the lighting circuits were 12 (possibly 14) gauge, while the brake circuit was 10 (possibly 12) gauge. Sorry I can't be more specific. I hope this helps!

If the gauge is in line after the tanks are coupled, it will measure the relative pressure, as noted by a comment from Mike. I would ask a "pro", though, before I would try to cobble something together.

Yes. Mine did the same thing. I tested the batterie and found the two in the front weren't as strong as the ones in the back. I rotated them front to back and charged them and the gauge has worked every since. Hope this works for you.

I found that the power cable was not correctly installed in the strain relief. On mine, the red and green wires were soldered to the panel and there is a sleeve covering them as the pass out of the small black box on the back. If you slide open the door of box, you will see that the strain relief is there and is secured by two small screws. I loosened them and positioned the cord correctly, then re-tightened and it is correct now. If you are really worried about the strain relief, you could add a tiny cable tie to keep it fron passing through the strain relief, but honestly, it was fine once I repositioned and tightened it up.

No, I've had no issues with my gauge. In fact, it's the best one I 've ever used.

No-the hose/vacuum port, release valve, and pressure guage are all-in-one...a bit of a design flaw I'm afraid.

It should be right on the side. The plug is for 20 amp so the plug looks a little strange

If it don't move probly not working actually I was not to happy with this gauge , I purchased a different one witch I like a lot better, this one seamed so big and stiff ! Good Luck

Thank you I had thought so but when I got the charge/controller it said to use this weird formula to figure gauge size. Go figure. Again thanks.

Sherman, Sorry I can't answer your question with I have done it answer. I have used this unit very little since I purchased it, and it was just to slow charge a new battery. My thought however, would be that the needle should rest in the "Start Position" when that dial selection is made. Meaning you are requesting full output amperage. There other factors that could cause the amp gauge to read inaccurately; Shorted internal battert cells, battery present state of charge, incorrect or bad connection. I would contact schmacher technical support to get an answer.

No. There's a chrome-colored knurled female tip on the gauge. Make sure it is screwed tight!

It comes already assembled; sounds like you're wanting to adapt it. When the gauge broke (a little too easily), I didn't bother taking it apart to check anything like that.
